The Long War
I started fighting in this war,
not really knowing what was instore.
So far i've watched my best friend die,
along with othermen as time goes by.

Gasses, bombs, grenades, and tanks,
is what is making our mother earth shake.

I never thought I would see with my eyes,
grown men sit down and cry.
This war has gotten out of hand,
god only knows when it'll end.
It's come to be my turn to climb,
over the trenches where i'll probably die.




Saying Goodbye
A war has started across the land,
soldiers now leave their family and friends.

They say goodbye at the door,
not knowing what they have instore.
They recieve their guns, helmets, and more,
but don't understand what the shovel is for.
They soon find where they must hide,
in trenches the dig with water inside.

We've been in the trenches for more then a week,
and all of us now are starting to reek.
Our trench was just attacked,
I got shot in the chest.

My time has come to say goodbye,
but tell them that i fought with honor inside.
